Hi Heather,
Beautiful image. I have played around with wax, but not beeswax, what is the difference in results. I was trying to save cost by using candlewax and really enjoyed the experience.

Heather... I just love your technique! Some beautiful pieces you have! This one is my favorite... what a gorgeous color palette and such a serene feeling.
Thanks for your comment on my sailfish painting....

Artist's Description

The intention of this painting is to paint a positive dream for my precious son to get the job he wants in a Law Firm. There is a great big world out there and he is ready to fly into it.
